Approximately one year after leading roof window manufacturer VELUXGroup joined forces with social business Little Sunand NGO Plan International, launching a design competition to bring clean, sustainable light to Africa, the first solar lamps have now arrived on African soil.
The VELUX Natural LightInternationalDesignCompetition received 172 proposals from 65 countries. A high-level jury of experts in the fields of architecture, art and design subsequently selected the winning design, by Mariana Arando and Luca Fondello of the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Their solar lamp design was inspired by the way light can bring people together.
The VELUX Group has so far produced and donated 14,500 of the solar-powered lamps, and 150 local sales agents are now being trained in how to sell the lamps in off-grid communities in Senegal, Zimbabwe and Zambia. The training combines workshops, roleplay, demonstrations, and group work.

The solar shadow was moving diagonally across my path at over 1000 mph! I was solo, so had to video while on auto-pilot at 9,000 ft over a haze level of about 8,000 ft. I never saw another plane while in the air during the 800 mile flight. It became so dark that you could see Jupiter beyond the sun briefly during one of the zooms of the camera.

As an energy crisis in Zimbabwe worsens, the government has announced plans to ban electric showers as part of efforts to save what little power there is. Authorities say these consume 40% of domestic power, and they have now rolled out a programme to install solar water heaters, to replace nearly 300,000 electric showers, over 5 years.

Approximately one year after leading roof window manufacturer VELUXGroup joined forces with social business Little Sunand NGO Plan International, launching a design competition to bring clean, sustainable light to Africa, the first solar lamps have now arrived on African soil.
The VELUX Natural LightInternationalDesignCompetition received 172 proposals from 65 countries. A high-level jury of experts in the fields of architecture, art and design subsequently selected the winning design, by Mariana Arando and Luca Fondello of the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Their solar lamp design was inspired by the way light can bring people together.
The VELUX Group has so far produced and donated 14,500 of the solar-powered lamps, and 150 local sales agents are now being trained in how to sell the lamps in off-grid communities in Senegal, Zimbabwe and Zambia. The training combines workshops, roleplay, demonstrations, and group work.

Approximately one year after leading roof window manufacturer VELUXGroup joined forces with social business Little Sunand NGO Plan International, launching a design competition to bring clean, sustainable light to Africa, the first solar lamps have now arrived on African soil.
The VELUX Natural LightInternationalDesignCompetition received 172 proposals from 65 countries. A high-level jury of experts in the fields of architecture, art and design subsequently selected the winning design, by Mariana Arando and Luca Fondello of the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Their solar lamp design was inspired by the way light can bring people together.

The RuralSolarMarketDevelopmentProject in Zimbabwe, as implemented by SNV, aims to increase access to renewable energy and create meaningful self-employment opportunities. The project addresses the key constraints in the solar market value chain, such as cost and effective distribution models, by tackling the missing link of rural retailing and distribution of solar photovoltaic (PV) products. It links youth to solar companies with the view of entering into business relationships, where youth represent the company brand but are working for themselves.

This was a flight I did in my Long-EZ N91CX from Johannesburg, South Africa to 90 NM NE of Harare, Zimbabwe on June 21 2001. I was in totality for over 3 minutes while flying over 200 mph. The solar shadow was moving diagonally across my path at over 1000 mph! I was solo, so had to video while on auto-pilot at 9,000 ft over a haze level of about 8,000 ft. I never saw another plane while in the air during the 800 mile flight. It became so dark that you could see Jupiter beyond the sun briefly during one of the zooms of the camera.

Victoria Falls Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Victoria Falls.
Located in the south of the African continent and located on the Zambia/Zimbabwe border, the Victoria Falls are one of the world's most amazing and impressive wonders of nature.Between February and March when the Zambesi is at its strongest, an average of more than five hundred million litres of water shoot over edge of the waterfall every minute. Indeed, the dimensions of the Victoria Falls beats all records: at an average height of ninety seven metres, the Victoria Falls are around one and a half times as long and also twice as high as the world famous Niagara Falls in North America.Dense tropical rain forests now cover the former basins of earlier waterfalls and have thus created vegetation that would not normally thrive in the surrounding ...

Matusadona to Chizarira. Zimbabwe. Travel guide.

The way to Chizarira from Matusadona lay up the Tashinga road, through the almost aboriginal Batonka tribal area, but first you had to get out of the park.
SelfDriveDo it YourselfZimbabwe: http://www.selfdrive4x4.co.za/
The 82-km stretch of road over the Matusadona Mountains before you joins the Karoi - Binga road is rough and not suitable for saloon cars.
Even in 4x4 the road can be a tester. During the rainy season some of the bridges are washed away and can defy all driving skills.
During heavy rains the road might be impassable. It is advisable to enquire about the condition of the road before starting your journey.
From Matusadona, the mountains that form the escarpment resemble a barrier, and barrier is in fact what Chizarira means.
Chizarira National Park straddles the Zambezi...

Botswana Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Botswana.
Botswana is the largest natural paradise in southern Africa. Limited tourism, a combination of untouched wilderness and the comfort and luxury of a handful of safari camps, makes this Africa’s model country. Our journey begins in nearby Zimbabwe that is located close to Botswana’s northern frontier at Victoria Falls that is undoubtedly one of the most impressive natural wonders in the world. Eighty kilometres west and we have crossed the Botswana border and arrive in the first large city in the north of the country, Kasane, that is located on the Chobe River and marks the country’s frontier with Namibia. In addition to growing tourism the fishing industry is also important to Kasane’s economy. The river contains an abundance of fish and so the local...

Kariba, Zimbabwe. Travel guide.

When build Lake Kariba was the largest man-made lake in the world.
SelfDriveDo it YourselfZimbabwe: http://www.selfdrive4x4.co.za/
The lake formed by the dam wall - 281 km long, 32 km across at its widest point, and covering 5000 square km - is now one of Zimbabwe's major tourist attractions.
Tourism, however, was far from the minds of those who, in 1950 pointed out that the growing demands for coal by existing thermal power stations in central Africa could not be met after 1960 by the railway system. A source of hydroelectric power would have to be found.
The largest river in central Africa, the Zambezi, seemed the obvious source of water and the Kariba Gorge met all the criteria for a dam wall.
The Gorge had been discovered by David Livingstone and its position as a bottleneck at en...

Zambia is a a landlocked country in Southern Africa that's roughly the size of Texas or France. Zambia is, bordered by Tanzania to the northeast, Malawi to the east, Mozambique to the southeast, Zimbabwe and Botswana to the south, with a narrow strip of Namibia known as the Caprivi Strip to the southwest, Angola to the west, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the northwest.
Do on Zambia
==================
Zambia is making a name for itself as a must do safari destination. It's marketing itself as the real Africa and if you visit any of the South African reserves before you go to Zambia you will agree with them! There are no traffic jams around the Lions here! The future for Zambia also looks a lot brighter than many of its neighbours, its new government under PresidentSata seems to be behind conservation. It recently declined granting a uranium mining licence in Lower Zambezi National Park because of the environmental damage it would cause
Organised safaris are the way to go in Zambia. Self driving is an option but is only for the fully self sufficient. Zambia is home to some of Africa's greatest national parks. Lower Zambezi, SouthLuangwa and the frankly huge (the worlds second biggest NP) Kafue are the main ones, but North Luangwa and the virtually inaccessible Luiwa Plains are worth a mention. Although sometimes you might find the borders of them hard to define, there are no fences in Zambia, it really is the Africa of your imagination.
Safaris are through various operators, many being very expensive, but good value options are available and it's best to use a local established operator such as The RiverSafariCompany.
=================
Zimbabwe is a country in Southern Africa. It is landlocked and is surrounded by South Africa to the south, Botswana to the Southwest, Zambia to the Northwest, and Mozambique to the east and north.
The Zambezi river forms the natural boundary with Zambia and when in full flood (February-April) the massive Victoria Falls on the river forms the world's largest curtain of falling water. The Victoria Falls are a major tourist attraction.
Once known as the Breadbasket of Africa, since 2000, Zimbabwe has undergone an economic collapse and the rule of law has gradually but largely broken down, although there have been a few signs of improvement since the theoretical formation of a unity Government in 2009 and the Zimbabwean economy has been on the rebound. GDP grew by more than 5% in the year 2010 and 2011, from a very low base. Growth is forecast to increase, buoyed by high mineral prices and the improving agriculture sector.
See in Zimbabwe
==============
Hwange National Park. Located between Victoria Falls and Bulawayo, the park boasts more than 100 different animal species and over 400 species of birds. It is one of the few great elephants sanctuaries in Africa with over 30,000 elephants.
Matobo HillsNational Park. Also known asMatopos, this small park close to Bulawayo was awarded a UNESCO world heritage status in 2003 for its fascinating natural features and wildlife.
Mana Pools National Park. Mana Pools National Park, South of the Zambezi river in the North of Zimbabwe, is a UNESCO world heritage site. A remote location, it welcomes happy few safari lovers with an abundance of elephants, hippos, lions, antelopes and other animals, and over 350 bird species, in stunning landscapes.
Great ZimbabweRuins. Located in the vicinity of Masvingo, the 3rd Zimbabwean city, Great Zimbabwe ruins are the remains of one of greatest African civilizations after the Pharaohs: the Kingdom of Great Zimbabwe dominated the area from present Zimbabwe, East of Botswana and South East of Mozambique in the late Iron Age (1100-1450 AD). From the impressive granite stone complex that was once built, the ruins span 1,800 ac (700 ha) and cover a radius of 100-200 mi (160-320 km).
Victoria falls, Zambezi River, One of the greatest attractions in Africa and one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world, Victoria Falls.
Nyanga National Park, Rolling green hills and perennial rivers transverse the 47 000 hectare Park. Nyanga National Park can provide the visitor with an unforgettable holiday experience.

Located in the south of the African continent and located on the Zambia/Zimbabwe border, the Victoria Falls are one of the world's most amazing and impressive wonders of nature.Between February and March when the Zambesi is at its strongest, an average of more than five hundred million litres of water shoot over edge of the waterfall every minute. Indeed, the dimensions of the Victoria Falls beats all records: at an average height of ninety seven metres, the Victoria Falls are around one and a half times as long and also twice as high as the world famous Niagara Falls in North America.Dense tropical rain forests now cover the former basins of earlier waterfalls and have thus created vegetation that would not normally thrive in the surrounding area. According British explorer, David Livingstone, the waterfalls were such an incredible sightthat even passing angels would have been awestruck and amazed by their outstanding beauty. Even a century and a half after they were first discovered the majestic Victoria Falls are still one of the greatest natural spectacles in the world.

From Matusadona, the mountains that form the escarpment resemble a barrier, and barrier is in fact what Chizarira means.
Chizarira National Park straddles the Zambezi Escarpment at its highest point, a journey of about 200-km from Tashinga.
It will take you more than half a day to reach the park headquarters.
It is a fascinating drive through the Ume, Sengwa and Lusilukulu river valleys, before climbing the steep side of the escarpment.
The 20-km spectacular twisting climb up geological step of Chizarira to the park headquarters is rough and 4x4 are essential, especially during the wet season.

The way to Chizarira from Matusadona lay up the Tashinga road, through the almost aboriginal Batonka tribal area, but first you had to get out of the park.

Adventure Films, the producers of well known tourist guides on video “The Botswana Adventure” & “DiscoverMozambique” now offers their new production “The Zimbabwe Adventure – Kariba & The Zambezi” for potential visitors to this beautiful country.
The adventure starts at the Town of Kariba, better known as Zimbabwe’s Riviera, where we explore the lake, accommodation and campsites on offer, in and around the town. We then headed north-east to The Zambezi valley and Mana Pools National Park, set in one of the most untamed areas in the country where tourists are still allowed to explore the park on foot.
We return to Kariba from where we charter a ferry to our next destination, Matusadona National Park. This unique reserve is set on the shores of Lake Kariba with beautiful camping sites and chalets and has been declared an intensive protection zone for the dwindling numbers of black rhino.
Matusadona can either be reached by ferry / boat or car.

Travel video about destination Botswana.
Botswana is the largest natural paradise in southern Africa. Limited tourism, a combination of untouched wilderness and the comfort and luxury of a handful of safari camps, makes this Africa’s model country. Our journey begins in nearby Zimbabwe that is located close to Botswana’s northern frontier at Victoria Falls that is undoubtedly one of the most impressive natural wonders in the world. Eighty kilometres west and we have crossed the Botswana border and arrive in the first large city in the north of the country, Kasane, that is located on the Chobe River and marks the country’s frontier with Namibia. In addition to growing tourism the fishing industry is also important to Kasane’s economy. The river contains an abundance of fish and so the local fishermen are provided with a good income to support their families. Since 1915 Ma-Un has been Botswana’s main city and until the beginning of the 1990s was only accessible via dusty gravel roads, a border town on the edge of a vast wilderness. The state run Moremi National Park that extends for around a hundred thousand hectares is the largest nature reserve in the Okavango Delta. It is located on Chief’s Island, the largest island in the region. In recent years further private wildlife reserves have been established that are well worth a visit and are also strictly controlled and protected natural habitats. Amid the African wilderness we arrive at a luxurious lodge that is not only the ideal starting point for many safaris but also provides a good degree of relaxation after an exhausting day out. Suddenly two members of the San Tribe approach the lodge. These ‘Bushmen’ will accompany us on our journey into the Kalahari Desert that is also their home. Elephant herds on the Chobe River, the vast wilderness of the Kalahari and the mystique of the Okavango Delta help to make Botswana one of the last great paradises on Earth!

When build Lake Kariba was the largest man-made lake in the world.
SelfDriveDo it YourselfZimbabwe: http://www.selfdrive4x4.co.za/
The lake formed by the dam wall - 281 km long, 32 km across at its widest point, and covering 5000 square km - is now one of Zimbabwe's major tourist attractions.
Tourism, however, was far from the minds of those who, in 1950 pointed out that the growing demands for coal by existing thermal power stations in central Africa could not be met after 1960 by the railway system. A source of hydroelectric power would have to be found.
The largest river in central Africa, the Zambezi, seemed the obvious source of water and the Kariba Gorge met all the criteria for a dam wall.
The Gorge had been discovered by David Livingstone and its position as a bottleneck at end of the wide Zambezi Valley that lies downstream of Batoka Gorge was ideal.
In 1954 work started on the dam wall.During the construction period over 70 people gave their lives for the project as floods washed away bridges. In early 1958 the river rose 35 meters above its winter level.
In December 1958 the dam was completed and the lake started to fill up over a period of 5 years.During this time, small islands were formed by the rising water, trapping more than 6000 wild animals of all sizes.
The GameDepartment set out to rescue these animals and Operation Noah was set in motion.This proved a mammoth task and by the end of 1959 over 6000 animals, elephant, buck, rhino, lion, leopard, zebra, snakes and numerous smaller animals and birds had been rescued.
The local Batonka tribe, who also had to be re-settled, believes their river god, Nyaminyami, half-serpent, half-fish, would one day revenge the damming of the mighty Zambezi.

African Safaris and travel 2016 - Botswana, Zimbabwe & Zambia - Africa trip 2016
Travel Videos HD, World TravelGuidehttp://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=World1Tube
Africa has 54 sovereign countries—the most on any continent—and is the second largest continent in terms of both land area and population. Africa is bounded by the Mediterranean Sea to the north, by the Atlantic Ocean to the west, by the Red Sea to the northeast, and by the Indian Ocean to the southeast. Africa is a vast continent spanning over 8,000km (5,000 mi) north to south and 7,500km (4,800 mi) east to west (not including islands) and contains a wide array of peoples, skin colours, religions, and cultures. Africa contains the world's longest river—the 6,650km long (4,100 mi) Nile River running from Burundi to Egypt—while the Congo River in the DRC is the second largest in terms of discharge as well as the deepest with a depth of over 230m (750 ft) in some spots. Tanzania's Mount Kilimanjaro is the world's tallest free-standing mountain at 5,890m (19,340 ft). Djibouti's Lake Assal is the second lowest point on Earth, the saltiest lake outside Antarctica, and one of the hottest places on Earth.
While the first activity most people associate with Africa is safaris, there are endless possibilities for adventure. You can purchase crafts in markets, venture into the Sahara with a Tuareg caravan, visit pygmy villages, hike through jungle to watch gorillas, relax on tropical islands in the Indian Ocean, snack on exotic treats, travel down a river in a dugout "pirogue", travel across savannah on a colonial-era railway, and much more.
Africa is a very diverse continent, with each country, or even each part of a country having its own unique culture. While it is common for people in the West to refer to Africa as if it was a single country, one should remember the sheer size of the continent, and that Africa is not one country but 54 different countries, meaning that it is impossible to make generalisations of Africa as a whole.
Tragically misunderstood by many people as a land of poverty, corruption, war and famine, and simply as a land of suffering—a misconception only bolstered by the media and the numerous NGOs on the continent—Africa today is a vast continent with many bustling metropolises, friendly people, and amazingly diverse and beautiful landscapes. While there are some places resembling the stereotypical Africa of war, famine, and poverty, most of the continent is peaceful, well-fed, and of working class .

Flora & Fauna

Many visitors are attracted by the African flora and fauna and several countries benefit from Safari tourism to African National Parks.
NaturalWonders
Africa is home to many famous natural wonders, from the Nile River, the world's longest river, to Victoria Falls. The continent is home to two of the world's four volcanoes with permanent lava lakes—the dramatic Mount Nyiragongo which rises hundreds of metres above Goma, DRC and Erta Ale in Ethiopia's stark Danakil Depression (the others are Mt.Erebus in Antarctica & Kilauea in Hawaii). Both volcanoes can be climbed by the adventurous tourist to stand at the rim gazing in awe at the bubbling lava below, an especially incredible sight at night!
Landscapes
============
Historical civilizations
While the continent's diverse and unique wildlife is often all that is mentioned in regards to African travel, as home to the oldest civilizations on the planet, Africa has equally impressive cultures and history. The most famous civilization on the continent, and arguably in the world, is that of ancient Egypt. From the southern city of Abu Simbel to Luxor and all the way north to Alexandria and Cairo, including the Pyramids of Giza, the only surviving of the original Seven Wonders of the World and the most iconic symbols of this ancient kingdom. Sites from the Nubian-Kushite Kingdom that broke away from Egypt can be found in Sudan, such as Gebel Barkal and many other pyramids in Meroe.
Ethiopia offers many ruins from the ancient Axumite Kingdom where the Queen of Sheba ruled. The obelisks and Dungur ruins in Axum were built prior to the kingdom's conversion to Christianity, while many other great monuments, such as the Ezana Stone and the Church of Our LadyMary of Zion, where the Arc of the Covenant is said to be stored, were built after the conversion as religious sites. Other famous Christian structures built later by the kingdom's successor, the Abyssinian Empire, especially during the 12th and 13th centuries, can also be found in Lalibela.

Energy ministerSamuel Undenge was early this month grilled by legislators over the $5 million controversially advanced to businessman, Wicknell Chivayo, whose company, Intratek Zimbabwe was awarded the multi-million dollar Gwanda solar project under equally contentious circumstances.
The project awarded in 2016 has not registered much progress despite Chivayo reportedly receiving the down payment allegedly in his personal account.
The matter was raised by Norton MP Temba Mliswa during the on-going 2018 budget seminar in Victoria Falls just after Undenge’s presentation on energy.
“The ministry released $5 million that was given to Chivayo and we are trying to vote for a new budget. But it becomes diffi...

Energy ministerSamuel Undenge was early this month grilled by legislators over the $5 million controversially advanced to businessman, Wicknell Chivayo, whose company, Intratek Zimbabwe was awarded the multi-million dollar Gwanda solar project under equally contentious circumstances.
The project awarded in 2016 has not registered much progress despite Chivayo reportedly receiving the down payment allegedly in his personal account.
The matter was raised by Norton MP Temba Mliswa during the on-going 2018 budget seminar in Victoria Falls just after Undenge’s presentation on energy.
“The ministry released $5 million that was given to Chivayo and we are trying to vote for a new budget. But it becomes difficult to deliberate on a new budget when there are some monies that are not accounted for,” he charged.
“We need to know why he was given the money and nothing has been happening. As we speak, another consultancy company has taken over which shows that there was a scam because he has failed. So that money must be refunded to government. There are other allegations that part of the money was deposited to your account so we need receipts pertaining to all these issues before we pass the budget. Monies are being misappropriated so you need to account first before we approve.”
Undenge agreed disbursing the money, but could not explain how it was used.
“So for you to be clean, you need to show us everything and all the requisitions required together with what went to your account and further explain why it was so,” another MP said in response to Undenge.
This prompted Speaker of the National Assembly, Jacob Mudenda, to suggest setting up a committee to investigate the allegations.
“We will assign a committee that will investigate the matter. We can’t pursue the matter and call for invoices that are against the standing order. The minister will give the investigation team all the documents to be fully distilled after the findings and that will be our point of departure,” he said after the matter had raised a lot of dust from other legislators.
Although the project is located in Spitzkop suburb, Intratek abandoned the site a few months after workers removed all earth-moving equipment from the site.
The $5 million released to Chivayo without a bond and reportedly against the advice of Zesa management, was supposed to cover feasibility studies, topographical survey, boreholes, clearance of site, the geo-technical survey, fencing of the site, way leaves and administrative structures.
Only feasibility studies, borehole siting surveys and the topographical survey have been done.

Transforming rural life with solar in Zimbabwe (full version)

The RuralSolarMarketDevelopmentProject in Zimbabwe, as implemented by SNV, aims to increase access to renewable energy and create meaningful self-employment opportunities. The project addresses the key constraints in the solar market value chain, such as cost and effective distribution models, by tackling the missing link of rural retailing and distribution of solar photovoltaic (PV) products. It links youth to solar companies with the view of entering into business relationships, where youth represent the company brand but are working for themselves.

Zimbabwe bans electric geysers to save on energy

As an energy crisis in Zimbabwe worsens, the government has announced plans to ban electric showers as part of efforts to save what little power there is. Authorities say these consume 40% of domestic power, and they have now rolled out a programme to install solar water heaters, to replace nearly 300,000 electric showers, over 5 years.

Solar lamps have finally arrived in Zimbabwe and Zambia

Approximately one year after leading roof window manufacturer VELUXGroup joined forces with social business Little Sunand NGO Plan International, launching a design competition to bring clean, sustainable light to Africa, the first solar lamps have now arrived on African soil.
The VELUX Natural LightInternationalDesignCompetition received 172 proposals from 65 countries. A high-level jury of experts in the fields of architecture, art and design subsequently selected the winning design, by Mariana Arando and Luca Fondello of the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. Their solar lamp design was inspired by the way light can bring people together.
The VELUX Group has so far produced and donated 14,500 of the solar-powered lamps, and 150 local sales agents are now being trained in how to sell the lamps in off-grid communities in Senegal, Zimbabwe and Zambia. The training combines workshops, roleplay, demonstrations, and group work.

Long-EZ flight in total solar eclipse June 21, 2001 Zimbabwe

This was a flight I did in my Long-EZ N91CX from Johannesburg, South Africa to 90 NM NE of Harare, Zimbabwe on June 21 2001. I was in totality for over 3 minutes while flying over 200 mph. The solar shadow was moving diagonally across my path at over 1000 mph! I was solo, so had to video while on auto-pilot at 9,000 ft over a haze level of about 8,000 ft. I never saw another plane while in the air during the 800 mile flight. It became so dark that you could see Jupiter beyond the sun briefly during one of the zooms of the camera.

Zimbabwe is INSANE

After a LONG day of flying we finally made it to Zimbabwe! We have never been to this country before and this country are insane!

Zambia & Zimbabwe tourism 2016, Safaris to Zambia & Zimbabwe, Victoria falls, Zambezi River, Hwange National Park, Nyanga National Park, Zambia & Zimbabwe trip 2016, Travel to Zambia & Zimbabwe 2016

Zambia is a a landlocked country in Southern Africa that's roughly the size of Texas or France. Zambia is, bordered by Tanzania to the northeast, Malawi to the east, Mozambique to the southeast, Zimbabwe and Botswana to the south, with a narrow strip of Namibia known as the Caprivi Strip to the southwest, Angola to the west, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the northwest.
Do on Zambia
==================
Zambia is making a name for itself as a must do safari destination. It's marketing itself as the real Africa and if you visit any of the South African reserves before you go to Zambia you will agree with them! There are no traffic jams around the Lions here! The future for Zambia also looks a lot brighter than many of its neighbours, its new government under PresidentSata seems to be behind conservation. It recently declined granting a uranium mining licence in Lower Zambezi National Park because of the environmental damage it would cause
Organised safaris are the way to go in Zambia. Self driving is an option but is only for the fully self sufficient. Zambia is home to some of Africa's greatest national parks. Lower Zambezi, SouthLuangwa and the frankly huge (the worlds second biggest NP) Kafue are the main ones, but North Luangwa and the virtually inaccessible Luiwa Plains are worth a mention. Although sometimes you might find the borders of them hard to define, there are no fences in Zambia, it really is the Africa of your imagination.
Safaris are through various operators, many being very expensive, but good value options are available and it's best to use a local established operator such as The RiverSafariCompany.
=================
Zimbabwe is a country in Southern Africa. It is landlocked and is surrounded by South Africa to the south, Botswana to the Southwest, Zambia to the Northwest, and Mozambique to the east and north.
The Zambezi river forms the natural boundary with Zambia and when in full flood (February-April) the massive Victoria Falls on the river forms the world's largest curtain of falling water. The Victoria Falls are a major tourist attraction.
Once known as the Breadbasket of Africa, since 2000, Zimbabwe has undergone an economic collapse and the rule of law has gradually but largely broken down, although there have been a few signs of improvement since the theoretical formation of a unity Government in 2009 and the Zimbabwean economy has been on the rebound. GDP grew by more than 5% in the year 2010 and 2011, from a very low base. Growth is forecast to increase, buoyed by high mineral prices and the improving agriculture sector.
See in Zimbabwe
==============
Hwange National Park. Located between Victoria Falls and Bulawayo, the park boasts more than 100 different animal species and over 400 species of birds. It is one of the few great elephants sanctuaries in Africa with over 30,000 elephants.
Matobo HillsNational Park. Also known asMatopos, this small park close to Bulawayo was awarded a UNESCO world heritage status in 2003 for its fascinating natural features and wildlife.
Mana Pools National Park. Mana Pools National Park, South of the Zambezi river in the North of Zimbabwe, is a UNESCO world heritage site. A remote location, it welcomes happy few safari lovers with an abundance of elephants, hippos, lions, antelopes and other animals, and over 350 bird species, in stunning landscapes.
Great ZimbabweRuins. Located in the vicinity of Masvingo, the 3rd Zimbabwean city, Great Zimbabwe ruins are the remains of one of greatest African civilizations after the Pharaohs: the Kingdom of Great Zimbabwe dominated the area from present Zimbabwe, East of Botswana and South East of Mozambique in the late Iron Age (1100-1450 AD). From the impressive granite stone complex that was once built, the ruins span 1,800 ac (700 ha) and cover a radius of 100-200 mi (160-320 km).
Victoria falls, Zambezi River, One of the greatest attractions in Africa and one of the most spectacular waterfalls in the world, Victoria Falls.
Nyanga National Park, Rolling green hills and perennial rivers transverse the 47 000 hectare Park. Nyanga National Park can provide the visitor with an unforgettable holiday experience.

Victoria Falls Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Victoria Falls.
Located in the south of the African continent and located on the Zambia/Zimbabwe border, the Victoria Falls are one of the world's most amazing and impressive wonders of nature.Between February and March when the Zambesi is at its strongest, an average of more than five hundred million litres of water shoot over edge of the waterfall every minute. Indeed, the dimensions of the Victoria Falls beats all records: at an average height of ninety seven metres, the Victoria Falls are around one and a half times as long and also twice as high as the world famous Niagara Falls in North America.Dense tropical rain forests now cover the former basins of earlier waterfalls and have thus created vegetation that would not normally thrive in the surrounding area. According British explorer, David Livingstone, the waterfalls were such an incredible sightthat even passing angels would have been awestruck and amazed by their outstanding beauty. Even a century and a half after they were first discovered the majestic Victoria Falls are still one of the greatest natural spectacles in the world.

Matusadona to Chizarira. Zimbabwe. Travel guide.

The way to Chizarira from Matusadona lay up the Tashinga road, through the almost aboriginal Batonka tribal area, but first you had to get out of the park.
SelfDriveDo it YourselfZimbabwe: http://www.selfdrive4x4.co.za/
The 82-km stretch of road over the Matusadona Mountains before you joins the Karoi - Binga road is rough and not suitable for saloon cars.
Even in 4x4 the road can be a tester. During the rainy season some of the bridges are washed away and can defy all driving skills.
During heavy rains the road might be impassable. It is advisable to enquire about the condition of the road before starting your journey.
From Matusadona, the mountains that form the escarpment resemble a barrier, and barrier is in fact what Chizarira means.
Chizarira National Park straddles the Zambezi Escarpment at its highest point, a journey of about 200-km from Tashinga.
It will take you more than half a day to reach the park headquarters.
It is a fascinating drive through the Ume, Sengwa and Lusilukulu river valleys, before climbing the steep side of the escarpment.
The 20-km spectacular twisting climb up geological step of Chizarira to the park headquarters is rough and 4x4 are essential, especially during the wet season.

Kariba, Mana Pools and Matusadona.
Before You GoSee ThisVideo. THE ZIMBABWE ADVENTURE Kariba and Lower Zambezi Mana Pools. Comprehensive Travel Guide - Now FREE to view on YouTube.
Zimbabwe has become a tourist paradise with host of activities to keep even the most energetic fully occupied. Some of the most beautiful destinations are set on the banks of the Zambezi River and the shores of Lake Kariba and offer tourists affordable and spectacular holidays, especially the 4X4 enthusiast who are prepared to wander of the beaten track.
Adventure Films, the producers of well known tourist guides on video “The Botswana Adventure” & “DiscoverMozambique” now offers their new production “The Zimbabwe Adventure – Kariba & The Zambezi” for potential visitors to this beautiful country.
The adventure starts at the Town of Kariba, better known as Zimbabwe’s Riviera, where we explore the lake, accommodation and campsites on offer, in and around the town. We then headed north-east to The Zambezi valley and Mana Pools National Park, set in one of the most untamed areas in the country where tourists are still allowed to explore the park on foot.
We return to Kariba from where we charter a ferry to our next destination, Matusadona National Park. This unique reserve is set on the shores of Lake Kariba with beautiful camping sites and chalets and has been declared an intensive protection zone for the dwindling numbers of black rhino.
Matusadona can either be reached by ferry / boat or car.
To reach our next destination we had to travel south, over the Matusadona Mountains and high onto the escarpment where Chizarira National Park is situated. A remote area of wilderness country with magnificent gorges, plateau and floodplains, this park is unique and in a class of its own.
We end this part of our adventure in the town of Binga, on the shores of Lake Kariba, where beautiful lodges and camping sites can be found. An ideal place to wash down the dust and relax after an exciting adventure. The video is not a wildlife film. The purpose of the production is to inform potential visitors to Zimbabwe about relative aspects that could assist them in planning their 4X4 adventure. Topics featured are National Parks, relevant towns, hotels & lodges, camping sites, road conditions and useful tips regarding your adventure.

Botswana Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Botswana.
Botswana is the largest natural paradise in southern Africa. Limited tourism, a combination of untouched wilderness and the comfort and luxury of a handful of safari camps, makes this Africa’s model country. Our journey begins in nearby Zimbabwe that is located close to Botswana’s northern frontier at Victoria Falls that is undoubtedly one of the most impressive natural wonders in the world. Eighty kilometres west and we have crossed the Botswana border and arrive in the first large city in the north of the country, Kasane, that is located on the Chobe River and marks the country’s frontier with Namibia. In addition to growing tourism the fishing industry is also important to Kasane’s economy. The river contains an abundance of fish and so the local fishermen are provided with a good income to support their families. Since 1915 Ma-Un has been Botswana’s main city and until the beginning of the 1990s was only accessible via dusty gravel roads, a border town on the edge of a vast wilderness. The state run Moremi National Park that extends for around a hundred thousand hectares is the largest nature reserve in the Okavango Delta. It is located on Chief’s Island, the largest island in the region. In recent years further private wildlife reserves have been established that are well worth a visit and are also strictly controlled and protected natural habitats. Amid the African wilderness we arrive at a luxurious lodge that is not only the ideal starting point for many safaris but also provides a good degree of relaxation after an exhausting day out. Suddenly two members of the San Tribe approach the lodge. These ‘Bushmen’ will accompany us on our journey into the Kalahari Desert that is also their home. Elephant herds on the Chobe River, the vast wilderness of the Kalahari and the mystique of the Okavango Delta help to make Botswana one of the last great paradises on Earth!
